Bebe Rexha wants Kanye West collaboration

Bebe Rexha is desperate to get into the studio with Kanye West

The 'Hey Mama' hitmaker loves how "innovative' the 'Bound 2' rapper is and has always strived to make her music as unique and non-mainstream, like the 39-year-old musician.

She said: "I just think he's so innovative and he takes risks.

"I'm such a big fan of his music. That's what I've always aimed to be and I never want to follow mainstream radio, that's always kind of been my motto."

The 27-year-old blonde beauty also loves the fact Kanye - who is married to Kim Kardashian West - loves to take risks with his art.

She told Billboard magazine: "When I wrote 'The Monster' the first time with Jon Bellion, when I played it for people -- "The monster under my bed" -- this will never work. Even with [G-Eazy's] 'Me, Myself and I' and 'Hey Mama', I find that you can't follow mainstream and I love that about Kanye. He takes risks and I take risks."

The pop beauty - who attended the MTV Video Music Awards where Kanye gave a speech - has previously expressed her admiration for the outspoken rap star and how she wants to be the female Kanye.

She previously gushed: "I view myself as a male artist.

"I'm very tomboy and I'm inspired by hip hop artists.

"I want to be Kanye and do what he does musically. I'm very fearless."
